El Salvadoreño - Salvadoran restaurant in Overland Park - 9860 W 87th St, USA

First, the food is excellent! I mean, that’s why we go to a place, right? To eat? And the food is wonderful, fresh, authentic, recipes, and very, very tasty. The service, is mediocre. The atmosphere is less than desirable. There is always loud music, which is distracting. The pupusa’s are the best you’ll find in town. The chicken soup meal is wonderful. The guacamole has a unique recipe. That includes hard boiled eggs. They put hard boiled eggs on a lot of things. The prices are fair, but the menu quoted the house salad as $3.50, but charged me $4.50 for it. I often get meals to go from this place just because the atmosphere in the service is not the best. But you have to be careful taking at home, because the packaging is not always secure. Did I say the food is excellent? Yes it is. Excellent!

Visited the new location, a great new space, as they begin to get back in gear after long hiatus for their move from the old downtown Overland Park location. Food is excellent in quality, flavor, and variety. Service was friendly and speedy at lunch, much slower at the dinner hour. They have a creative cocktail menu that hopefully will be available soon. Definitely worth going back.

The most authentic flavor from El Salvador in the KC area. I was quite happy with every single dish we had while we were there. The plates were so big and filling. The restaurant it self had really awesome murals to look at while waiting on the food. I will definitely be returning to try other dishes!!! Super delicioso y auténtico !!!

This was my first visit to El Salvadoreno. From the very beginning our server was fantastic greeted with a smile very knowledgeable really quick with service. We ordered the chicken and steak kabobs with rice and beans and it was amazing. You can tell that this family takes pride in their food. Highly recommended!

The food was excellent. The Pollo en Crema was great. The chicken ensilada for appetizers was excellent as well. The service was good. We sat at a booth. The seats could use an upholstery. That would be our only complain. It was not uncomfortable to seat on just could be a bit nicer. That would be the only negative. The price was reasonable. You should try it for sure.

This is a great choice if you are feeling like something "South of the boarder" but want to expand past the typical tex mex fair. The food is very flavorful and prepared fresh. The curtido was the weak part of the meal. It did not have the bite I expect from it and was a little to vinegary. I will say that I did have one of the best margaritas ever. I would highly recommend it.

Amazing food and people! Breakfast, lunch and dinner is all amazing. First time we went was on a Friday and turned around and went Saturday morning. Then every Friday after that it was just so good. Finally had to give it a break for a second. But one of our favorite places!!

Pros: Prices were pretty reasonable No wait to be seated Didn’t take long to get our food Food tasted fresh Pork and cheese papusas had good flavor Cons: The waitress got my order wrong The papusas were the greasiest ones I’ve ever had, so didn’t want to finish them and get a stomach ache Chicken and cheese papusas tasted bland
